This one will be a test for the Darts away at unbeaten Billericay. Here's an up to date match preview after the new player announcement! https://puredfc.co.uk/billericay-town-v-dartford-2

Damn, should have read January 2022. Still, not a good run of FAT results. In 2021/22 we beat Bath, Cray Wanderers and Weymouth before going out to Needham Market (lower league opposition) in round 5. Since, we have lost three at the first hurdle without scoring. Lower league opposition again in Nov...

Pat Nevin’s Accidental Footballer is a cracking read if anyone is looking for an autobiography. His music taste isn’t too bad either!

Thanks Rick for setting up the poll.

I also like Dsane’s goals for the build up play. Gone for the one against Leatherhead though as enjoyed the assist from Carruthers too. Did consider Pinder’s as it was a decent strike despite the deflection.

Hopefully there will be plenty of choice this month!

Rick - can you set up a poll again please? Not so many options this time!

Five goals to choose from for September. Here are the links and to avoid going through the pain of that Kent derby defeat the time to forward to in the video! Jez Pinder v Dover Athletic (2 mins 15 secs) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DI4MnOdB1SM&t=152s Callum Jones v Leatherhead https://www.yo...

Hopefully we can start another cup run starting against Dulwich Hamlet. Here's the preview https://puredfc.co.uk/dartford-v-dulwich-hamlet-3

Took my kids to the game last weekend and enjoyed the win. A very good team has been assembled and the girls looked comfortable fully deserving the 4-1 victory. The only other two matches I’ve seen is the 2-0 win over Crawley last season and a 2-1 defeat to Worthing the year before. Definitely recom...

As a Spurs fan then, The Glory Game by Hunter Davies is a good read. As a journalist, Davies had plenty of inside access to Tottenham during their 1971/72 season. Access to a football club that was rare for a writer then as it is now. Although nowadays we’re saturated with documentaries on Amazon Pr...

That sounds like an interesting read. Might give that a go sometime as my Dad, who stood on the terraces at Stamford Bridge as a kid (before starting to support Dartford later on), used to tell me how good Greaves was as a player. I’ve heard some stories and Greavsie’s goal scoring stats were brilli...

Hoping for an upset on Saturday against Worthing. Here's the match preview https://puredfc.co.uk/worthing-v-dartford-3

Hopefully a double header of football at Princes Park this weekend. On Saturday, Dartford play their first ever match against Bowers and Pitsea and here's the match preview https://puredfc.co.uk/dartford-v-bowers-and-pitsea

On Sunday, Dartford Women are in F.A Cup action at 2pm against Bromley.

This is the fifth time we’ve drawn Worthing in the F.A Cup. The most common tie in this season’s 3rd qualifying round https://x.com/facupfactfile/status/1835663277516284161?s=46 Taken from Princes Among Men it looks like we’ve already avenged the 1982 defeat! 08/10/1921 Away drew 0-0 (1Q) 12/10/1921...

This weekend Dartford host Leatherhead in a cup competition for the fourth time. Check out the match preview and our record against the Tanners at https://puredfc.co.uk/dartford-v-leatherhead

Third v fourth, best defensive record v highest scorers, Dartford visit Dover in a Kent derby tomorrow and here's the preview https://puredfc.co.uk/dover-athletic-v-dartford-3 COYD!

Wasn't really expecting that result to be honest and thought Dulwich would win through to bring a few ex Darts back to PP. However, at least non of them will now be able to score against us. I'll leave it for Disco Stu to come up with all the previous match statistics v Leatherhead ahead of the gam...

I see that Dover lost 0-1 at home to Sittingbourne in the FA Cup replay tonight. They almost got beat 2-0 vs Sittingbourne on Saturday but Dover pulled the 2 goals back with 3 mins to go to end up 2-2 and the replay tonight. Dover’s goalkeeper Mitch Walker scored a Ibrahim-esque free kick to make i...

Amazing, thank you.

That’s the one for me as well. Although I do like the two goals from open play v Chatham (Odaudu and Jones).

Just for a bit of fun, well actually an excuse to watch all 14 of our goals so far this season - what is your favourite goal of August? Thanks to KST Dart's excellent work and footage these are the goals. Don't forget you can access them via youtube https://www.youtube.com/@kstdart or via the Pure D...
